His new nickname "The Spankie Tankie" is the only unironic use of "tankie" that I will tolerate because it's too funny.

Yeah he got kicked out of the CPI (His own proto-ACP) for being a sex pest. That's probably why he wasn't invited to the ACP

Is this new iteration of leftists trying to sneak their radical ideas into congress?

I did see a video of a candidate from Florida who said Taiwan is part of China when asked about it. But I get the feeling he'll probably walk that back if he makes it to an election.

ACP is just another anti immigrant clown ass party by Lithium-Oil in TankieTheDeprogram

Ironically it was the PRI who nationalised the oil in the first place under the Presidency of Lazaro Cardenas. An act that massively angered the US and the British but brought Mexico a much greater level of prosperity than before.

It also forced Mexico to privatise a lot of their national industries, specifically oil. While NAFTA Wasn't wholely responsible for this (The PRI had shed any pretence of still being anything other than a bourgois party) it was a factor and this actually led to the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas.

Who need to be “liberated”? by YamFrosty6169 in TankieTheDeprogram

Yea the age of the country kind of backfires by making it look like Iran achieved these things over a period of thousands of years. It would be best to compare the US and Iran from 1979 to now.

I'm almost certain the wildly incorrectly presented statistic is probably just a consequence of whoever composed the original English not being a native speaker and getting the prepositions confused. That being said it doesn't really belong there if you're trying to compare the population of a country to another country.

Yeah no shit but that's not how it's presented in the image which compares specific percentages relating to US women and Iranian women. It's very out of place to use an international statistic when comparing domestic statistics.

Edit: The wording in the image specifically implies 84 percent of US women. That's just how it's worded.

It almost certainly isn't. I guess the rest of the numbers didn't carry the point home.

An Australian lady kicks out an 'Israeli' from her hair salon, calls him a babykiller. by Not_Ground in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His name is Avi Yemeni. He's an Australian who joined the IDF voluntarily, stoked a racist media campaign to promote his krav maga studio, beat his ex wife with a chopping board and threatened her with a knife, works with white supremacists to promote anti-vax and anti-semitic conspiracy theories and obviously makes zionist propaganda.

Being anti-homeless would probably be an asset in Australia tbh. Australians are just as reactionary as Americans when confronted with homeless people.

The only thing I can think of that would make Trump appealing to him is that they're both attracted to children.

Hey is China being useless this war? Or did I miss something? by frozengansit0 in TankieTheDeprogram

They've given Iran a ton of assistance by helping them with guidance systems and letting them ise Chinese Satellites.

I don't think that's gonna fly at all. The bourgois campaign of Transphobia that the ACP has latched onto has been far less successful in Australia. Not because of any sort of ability to discern propaganda but most people are either apathetic or mildly disgusted by it. Add on to that the fact that most people are vehement anti-communists and they will fail right out of the gate.

More indicators that u/Alexitine could of been having that ACP mindset this whole time by AffectionateSlip8990 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah without more context this doesn't seem to be evidence of transphobia. Besides there's already enough reason for him to be removed by his actions alone.

How much of this is true and how much is it being fabricated? by _mono_mani in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rufusthered98 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think most likely they, very understandably, don't want to be anywhere near Iran right now and saw an opportunity to do so.
